Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Abu'l Hassan 'Ali, who was the last Hafsid caliph to rule over both North Africa and Sicily. This coin, made of gold and weighing 0.61 grams, was part of a series of coins issued during his reign that aimed to promote trade and commerce between the two regions. Despite the Hafsid dynasty's eventual decline, coins like this one remain a testament to the rich cultural and economic history of the region.
